brand of GM worldwide, with "Chevrolet" or "Chevy" being at times
synonymous with GM.
Chevrolet offers over 20 vehicles(many of the same chassis with
different body panels) and many different enhanced versions in its
home market. The brand's vehicles range from subcompact cars to
medium duty commercial trucks. Its number one sellers in the United
States include the Silverado pickup, which is the second best-selling
vehicle in the United States (after the Ford F-150) and the Impala,
which is the number one selling car with a domestic nameplate in the
United States
History
North American history
Chevrolet was co-founded by Louis Chevrolet and William C.
Durant. Louis Chevrolet was a race-car driver, born on December 25,
1878, in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. William Durant, founder of
General Motors, had been forced out of GM in 1910 and wanted to useLouis Chevrolet's designs to rebuild his own reputation as a force in
the automobile industry. As head of Buick Motor Company, prior to
founding GM, Durant had hired Chevrolet to drive Buicks in
promotional races.
Chevrolet first used its "bowtie"logo in 1913. This logo is said to
have been designed from wallpaper Durant once saw in a French
hotel. Another theory of the design of the mark is from the Swiss
cross, because Louis Chevrolet was from Switzerland.
In 1915, Durant made a trip to Toronto, Ontario to determine
the possibility of setting up production facilities in Canada. After
meeting with "Colonel Sam" McLaughlin, whose McLaughlin Motor Car
8/13/2019 Empire Motors Pvt. Ltd. Navsari
20/63
Company manufactured the McLaughlin-Buick, it was agreed that the
Chevrolet Motor Car Company of Canada, operated by McLaughlin,
would be created to build Chevrolet cars in Canada. Three years later,
the two Canadian companies were purchased by GM to become
General Motors of Canada Ltd.
By 1916 Chevrolet was profitable enough to allow Durant to buy
a majority of shares in GM. After the deal was completed in 1917,
Durant was president of General Motors, and Chevrolet was merged
into GM, becoming a separate division. In the 1918 model year
Chevrolet introduced the Model D V-8 series 4-passenger roadster and
5 passenger touring. These cars had 288ci, 35 hp (26 kW) engines withZenith carburetors and 3 speed transmissions.
India
Chevrolet is among the newest brands in India launched by
GM's Indian operations. Until June 6, 2003 (the official birthday of
Chevrolet), GM India (which was originally a joint venture with
Hindustan Motors) sold the Opel Corsa, Opel Astra, and the Opel
Vectra. The Corsa and Astra were built at a plant in Halol, Gujarat.
Since then, Chevrolet currently sells the Chevrolet Optra,
Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Tavera, Chevrolet SRV , Chevrolet Spark and
Chevrolet Aveo U-VA. The Chevrolet Forester, a rebadged Subaru, was
imported directly from Fuji Heavy Industries in Japan until 2005. The
Optra and Tavera are built at the Halol plant.
Chevrolet also is the sole Engine supplier for the Formula Rolon
single seater series in India.

1.3 LITERATURE REVIEWMeaning & Definition: -
The long term relation ship cannot automatically be
assumed due to the initial sale they are never static often
after a first purchase, the customer doesnt seem to have
immediate additional; buying potential. Unsuccessful
salespeople simply play a waiting game maintaininggoodrelationship while passively waiting until circumstance
change. Successful salespeople, on the other hand, take an
active and dynamic approach by using their initial
successful sale to penetrate or develop the customer
account. They look for more areas within the account where
their product/service may offer a solution.
After sale service is intended to build long term
relationship with customers to ensure repeat business &
referral.
Strategies that successful people develop for repeat sales
from after sales service:
1. New opportunities.
Successful salespeople not only maintain their existing
customer accounts, they actively look for new opportunities
to penetrate within these accounts. Their objective is not to
protectbut to project or to sell. By having an objective
http://auto.indiamart.com/cars/sport-utility-vehicle.htmlhttp://auto.indiamart.com/cars/sport-utility-vehicle.html8/13/2019 Empire Motors Pvt. Ltd. Navsari
24/63
of developing during the course of maintaining their
existing customers, successful salespeople not only will
protect the account but also will obtain more sales from the
account.
2. Document the good News.
Salespeople can make Reminder Sales Call. Most of
the time, the salesperson is in contact with the customer
when things are going wrong. A better strategy is to remind
the customer of the benefits that have come from the sales
that stay in contact with customer when thing are goingright. Remember that customer keep a file on
correspondence with the selling company. Imagine what a
file would look like to a new decision maker at the customer
company reading a file full of bad news shouldnt the good
news be recorded.
Good news such as other satisfied customer can be
forwarded FYI [for your interest] to your existing customer.
Additionally, the salesperson can write to the customer
outlining the positive and assistance. When its time for
repurchase, the seeing company is in a stronger position.
3. Educate the Customer on New
Development.
Salespeople can make Informative Sales Call. Related
to developing the customer account the salesperson
informs the customer of new product/ service and changes
within the industry or selling company. The long-term
relationship between the customer and seller is further
8/13/2019 Empire Motors Pvt. Ltd. Navsari
25/63
strengthened in this open sharing of information that affects
both customer and seller.
4. Generate Referrals.
Salespeople can make Lead-Generations sales Calls.
Ironically, the more that the salesperson has satisfied the
customers needs, the less there is a need for an immediate
repeat business from the existing customer. As mentioned
above, the customer account can be further penetrated and
also can be a source of referrals both internal and external
customer. Satisfied customers are often delighted to help thesalesperson. They can give contacts and introductions.
Remember that the Motivation dipoccurs during the
second stage Learning Stageof the implementation step,
so referrals must be obtained early in the Novelty Stage
or late in the Effectiveness Stage.
5. Rethink the Understanding of Customer
Needs.
Salespeople can make Needs Assessment Sales Calls.
Customer needs changes. The salesperson should make
periodic calls on the customer to reassess then
understanding of the customers needs. Remember that
competitors are attempting to or are regularly assessing your
customers needs. They can take your existing as neglected.
After all, didnt the salesperson also obtain or take this
existing customer from someone else.
8/13/2019 Empire Motors Pvt. Ltd. Navsari
26/63
6. Influence Future Decision Criteria.
Salespeople can make Decisions Criteria Sales Calls.
Salespeople can help educate or refine the process by which
the customer makes decision. Perhaps the customers level
of sophistication is relatively low. Here the salesperson cans
facilities the customers learning of methodologies that help
decide on optimal product/service solutions. If the customer
is sophisticated, the salesperson can openly discuss decision
criteria. This may be information gleamed that is useful to
the salesperson and/or serve as a sounding-board and idea
refinement for the customer. In all cases, the customer will
see salesperson as a consultant and partner in the
relationships. This bond should to a stronger long-term
relationship and increased repeat business, referrals and
customer account development.

The time has gone when seller only concentrate on the
selling of the goods & not even following their customers about the liking
& disliking about product purchased. Now, the time has changed. The
customers are cant as the controlling function & marketing as theintegrative function. Apart from that importance of After Sales Service
has increased, as consumer would come to you for a free service & not
for a paid service as outside a showroom a customer would get service
and parts at a low cost. Maruti Suzuki is not spaced out from all, which

method & grasp have been used for nominal scale data further for ttest
have been used.
One sample ttest is the statistical test which is used to testthe different between sample static & hypothesized population
parameter. It is used when the type of data are interval in nature.
Cross tabulation & chi square test, which provide the
method for testing the association between the dependent, &
independent variables.
I have used SPSS software for doing all kind of statisticaltests.

Once the data have been tabulated, interpreted & analyzed
the next step is to prepare a report & give a recommendation.
2.3 LIMITATION OF RESEARCH
Every coin has two sides as so every activity has
limitations. Some of the man limitations that I have found in
my project and research work are as follows.
Since the duration of project is short, there may be a chance of
same information left.
All the information for doing the project is collected from consumer
of specific region finding is limited to Navsari only.
Responses to the questionnaire as per respondent understanding,
which may differ from respondent to respondent.
Due to the limitation of cost the question design can have
limitation regarding the question and their options.
Due to cost limitation the sample size of 130 surveys only could be
collected which is small in size.
The analysis and conclusion used is as per my knowledge of the
concerned subject.
In changing environment the recommendation given in the project
may be out dated as year passed.
Probability sampling was not used due to time and cost constantly
and therefore the result cannot be generalized to the population.
Interview and interviewee bias may be there which may distort the
findings.
Conclusion made be highly debatable.
To Err Is Human, To Forgive Is Divine!!!

strong towards neutral level but it is nearer to positive response towards
facilities & solution for the customers by Empire Motors.
FACTOR ANALYSIS:
Different respondents rate different parameters differently for their
Agreeness/Disagreeness level. For a firm it is not possible or feasible to
focus on each and every parameter. So here Factor Analysis test is used
to reduce the factors so that only those factors which are very important
and need to focus more are considered first.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Survey of any topic ends when surveyor with the help of the
survey notes suggestions. Company tries to increase the satisfactionlevel of consumer. Following are the recommendation for this project:
Dhru Motors should increase the number of incentives provide
to the customer i.e. discount to overcome expensive service
charges.
Satisfied customer will continue to purchase again in the future
but dissatisfied will stop purchasing from Dhru Motors & arelikely to spreads the word among friends. So Empire motors
must work to satisfy the customer who have not visit an Dhru
motors service center after competition of free services.
Before introduce any new facilities in after sales service Dhru
Motors should meet existing customer & ask for their opinions.
Dhru motors even think about to run award programs to
recognize the best performing & outstanding employees.
Dhru Motors can achieve 100% success in customers
satisfaction in term of after sales service, if they will motivate
their employees with handsome incentives & reward for creating
customer delight. Many global automotives giant are practicing
this marketing strategy these days. For exampleDhru Motors
may set aside a special fund of Rs. 100,000 for those customers
who complain regarding the service [cars]. If any customers
complain, then after paying the actual amount whatever is left
is distribute the remaining amount equally among the
employees. This means that if no one complains, then Rs.
100,000 will be equally distributed among the staff members. If
there are 100 employees, then each one will get Rs. 1000 more
8/13/2019 Empire Motors Pvt. Ltd. Navsari
56/63
